The dreaded 'profit warning' was the subject of an announcement from Mayne Nickless last week. The company expects that its 1999/2000 earnings may be below the expectation of many - it is predicting an $80-85m figure as against last year's $110.5m. While Mayne Nickless stock has dropped below the level of our recommendation in issue 55 (Accumulate - $3.80), we think now that the stock is back near 12 year lows it remains an ACCUMULATE for those that appreciate this situation and are prepared to be patient. With some luck, the company will move into the sights of an acquirer, but failing this any turnaround could take a while.
